Future War and the Defence of Europe offers a major new analysis of how peace and security can be maintained in Europe: a continent that has suffered two cataclysmic conflicts since 1914. Taking as its starting point the COVID-19 pandemic and way it will inevitably accelerate some key global
dynamics already in play, the book goes on to weave history, strategy, policy, and technology into a compelling analytical narrative. It lays out in forensic detail the scale of the challenge Europeans and their allies face if Europe's peace is to be upheld in a transformative century. The book
upends foundational assumptions about how Europe's defence is organised, the role of a fast-changing transatlantic relationship, NATO, the EU, and their constituent nation-states. At the heart of the book is a radical vision of a technology-enabling future European defence, built around a new kind
of Atlantic Alliance, an innovative strategic public-private partnership, and the future hyper-electronic European force, E-Force, it must spawn. Europeans should be under no illusion: unless they do far more for their own defence, and very differently, all that they now take for granted could be
lost in the maze of hybrid war, cyber war, and hyper war they must face.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"... everyone concerned about transatlantic relations should read this book..." -- Andrew Moravcsik, Foreign Affairs

"... a major new analysis of how peace and security can be maintained in Europe... a radical vision of a technology enabling future European defence." -- Science Fact & Science Fiction Concatenation

"It is an interesting and wide-ranging exploration of a complicated, but often droll topic, brought to life by the eagerness of its writing and the passion of the authors." -- Joshua Huminski, Diplomatic Courier

"Every now and then a book is written that makes a difference. Future War and the Defence of Europe is one such book. Critically, it reminds us not only of the complex strategic challenges Americans, Canadians and Europeans must face, but the vital importance of facing them together." -- Michèle
Flournoy, former US Under-Secretary of Defense for Policy and Co-founder, The Center for a New American Security

"Latvians well understand the value of freedom. This excellent book is a blunt message to future leaders. If our hard won peace and freedom are to be preserved we must have the collective courage to look threat in the face. These eminent authors do just that. We ignore their message at our peril!"
-- Ambassador Imants Liegis, former Minister of Defence of the Republic of Latvia

"The Transatlantic Alliance is a key pillar in the defense of U.S. interests and in the promotion of our values. Future War and the Defense of Europe is a significant contribution to understanding the strategic landscape in Europe and how our forces might operate with European allies in a
multi-domain and digital environment. General Allen and his colleagues have written a must-read book for any student or practitioner of national security decision-making." -- The Honorable Leon E. Panetta, former U.S. Secretary of Defense, CIA Director, White House Chief of Staff, and Member of
Congress

"Keynes said that when confronting the new the difficulty is to abandon the old. This important book tells us that to retain our freedom and values in a post Covid future a paradigm shift is needed. It is a wake-up call for both Europeans and Americans, and a must read." -- Admiral Giampaolo di
Paola, former Italian Minister of Defence, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee and Chief of the Italian Defence Staff

"Well-trained forces matter! This is a central thesis in this great new book. Yes, the role of new technologies in Europe's twenty-first century defence will be vital, but the hard yards of peace will only be preserved by having enough young men and women in uniform - Americans, Canadians and
Europeans." -- General the Lord Richards of Herstmonceux, former Chief of the British Defence Staff

"Europe's peace rests on a new transatlantic relationship and on Europeans doing far more together for their own defence, but above all a modern, democratic Germany willing to lead European defence. Fail and all could be lost." -- Volker Ruehe, former German Minister of Defence

"This authoritative book offers a radical and timely new vision for the transatlantic defense relationship. The authors call upon Europeans to more fully share the burdens of NATO, for only then can the United States continue to underwrite Europe's peace while meeting the growing array of challenges
beyond Europe. Americans and Europeans must move beyond narrow debates and together consider the fast changing character of war and peace." -- Ambassador Alexander Vershbow, former NATO Deputy Secretary-General and US Assistant Secretary of Defense
